Title: Multi-plate clutch having thermal expansion compensating means
Inventor: FUKUDA YOSHINOBU
IPC: F16D13/52
Filed: 1997-09-10
Abstract: A multi-plate clutch, eg for a racing car, comprises a flywheel ring 5 with drive plates 7, a hub flange 6 with driven plates 8, a clutch cover assembly 10 and a conical spring 90. The clutch cover assembly includes a pressure plate 29 and a diaphragm spring 30 which selectively engages and disengages the plates 7, 8. Conical spring 90 has a rigidity less than that of the diaphragm spring 30 which allows, prior to starting a race, the clutch to be partially engaged at high engine RPM. This partial engagement generates heat which causes both plates 7, 8 and surrounding components to expand so as to produce an axial force that is absorbed by deformation of the conical spring 90. On full engagement of the clutch the conical spring 90 is pressed flat be the diaphragm spring 30. The conical spring 90 may be replaced by an elastically deformable pressure plate (129, fig 4) or by a conically shaped friction plate (7b, fig 5) having a low rigidity or by a carbon fibre reinforced composite member (80, fig 6).

Title: I.c. engine air cleaner with optional warm air intake and resonator chamber
Inventor: WADA MANABU
IPC: F02M35/14
Filed: 1997-09-18
Abstract: The air cleaner comprises upper and lower cases 4, 6, filter element 8, intake port 12 and outlet port 32. The lower case 6 has a partition wall 16 with a first surface 18 facing the intake port 12 and a second surface 20 facing an optional warm air intake port 34. The partition wall 16 creates a partitioned space 14. If the optional warm air intake is fitted, figures 1 and 3, apertures 22-1, 22-2 in the surfaces 18, 20 are alternatively closable by the flap-like valve body 28 of an air valve 24. If there is no warm air intake, figure 5, the valve 24 is omitted and the space 14-2 acts as a resonator chamber to muffle the noise of the airflow. The number of different parts is thus reduced. A modification is disclosed (figs.9-12) in which the two positions of the flap-like valve member 28 of the air valve 24 are separated by an acute angle for quicker valve action.

Patent GB-2325072-A (GB)
Title: Programmable logic array
Inventor: PEDERSEN BRUCE B
IPC: H03K19/177
Filed: 1997-04-01
Abstract: A programmable logic array integrated circuit has a plurality of regions 20 of programmable logic. Each region 20 includes a plurality of logic modules 22, each of which is programmable to perform any of several logic functions on input signals applied to the module. Each module 22 also includes a register for selectively registering a signal produced in or applied to the logic module. Signals for controlling the register and possibly other functions of the module 22 are selected 560 on a region-wide basis to reduce the amount of architecture control memory that each region 20 must have. Each register may be operated as either a flip-flop or a flow-through latch. The modules 22 may be interconnected in a carry chain. The main output of a first module 22 in such a chain may be fed back to the carry-in input of that module to avoid having to use another module to generate a carry-in signal for the first module in the chain.

Title: Brake booster
Inventor: WATANABE MAKOTO
IPC: B60T13/135
Filed: 1998-10-14
Abstract: A brake booster includes a parallel combination of a first and a second reaction transmitting path each transmitting a brake reaction from a reaction disc 35 to a valve plunger 17. The first reaction transmitting path includes a spring 40, charged to a preset load, and retainers 42, 43, and the second reaction transmitting path includes a viscoelastic member 41 formed of rubber. Alternative embodiments include only one retainer (Figs.6-8), and a rod member (747, Fig.11), carrying the two retainers (742,746), which is press-fitted into the valve plunger. With these arrangements, hysteresis is obtained in both a low range of servo ratio during an initial operational phase of the booster and a higher range of servo ratio during a later operational phase which phases occur before and after the spring is compressed, thus allowing a good brake feeling to be maintained.

Title: Railway interference current monitoring
Inventor: EASTMAN DOUGLAS
IPC: B61L1/20
Filed: 1999-12-16
Abstract: A method for monitoring interference currents in railway trackside signalling apparatus, comprises providing transducers 1 (eg. LEM Hall effect) and transducers 2 (eg. Rogowski coils) to measure the traction current and frequency, respectively, and a multi-channel digital data acquisition device adapted to record data outputted from the transducers. A data stream is formed by sampling the data acquisition device at a first rate, which data stream is buffered and separated into blocks of data. The channels are extracted from the blocks of data, from which the instantaneous interference current value is determined from the output of the transducer 1 and the output of the second transducer 2 is used to determine the digital filter outputs for the trackside signalling frequencies for said interference current value. The interference current value and digital filter output values are recorded on a data storage medium and/or displayed on a display unit in real time.

Title: Apparatus for converting hazardous wastes to form non-hazardous aggregate
IPC: F23G5/16
Filed: 1990-12-05
Abstract: Hazardous waste is formed into non-hazardous non-leaching aggregate by introducing the material to a rotary kiln where the large solids are at least partially combusted to form a primary aggregate. Gaseous combustion by-products and waste fines from the waste materials are introduced into at least one oxidizer having water-cooled metal walls. Some of the waste fines are melted to form a molten slag-like material that is removed from the apparatus and cooled to form non-hazardous aggregate. The portion of the material in the oxidizer that is not melted, is cooled, neutralized and subjected to a solid gas separation. The solid is reintroduced to the oxidizer with the primary aggregate where they are either melted or entrained within the molten material and become an integral part of the non-hazardous aggregate. <IMAGE>
